Summary

Desiring a family culture of travel and adventure is one thing; pulling it off–and paying for it–is another thing altogether. But just because you’re not jetting off to international destinations doesn’t mean you and your family can’t cultivate that adventure spirit in meaningful ways. In today’s episode, Part Three in our series on family travel, Meagan looks back at many years of family adventures and meaningful memory-making. She offers validation for moms whose travel dreams don’t match up with their current reality, and makes a case for letting your kids see you handle travel’s ups, downs, and hassles with flexibility and a sense of humor. This is the pep talk we all need before hitting the road in 2021!

This episode is part of our 3-part series Travel Stories To Inspire Your Next Family Adventure (Whenever The Time Comes). Listen to the whole series from this page.

0:49.3	is part three in a three part series about family travel. And it's been so
0:54.6	fun. I was so inspired by Chelsea's conversation yesterday. Definitely go
0:58.8	back and listen to parts one and two. They aired Wednesday and yesterday in
1:03.3	part one. Megan, you interviewed me more about kind of taking your family to the
1:08.4	grandparents house or making a home away from home when you're visiting with
1:12.2	relatives. And then Chelsea's experience yesterday was totally different. It
1:17.2	was, but I actually love the juxtaposition between I got that whole word out.
1:20.9	Can you believe it? Between the two interviews because you know, you were also in
1:26.4	situations way outside of your control and and hearing about, you know, being in
